Survival is not guaranteed | Suit Up! Philosophy
Suit Up! With Terrance Layhew
Survival is not guaranteed. This should be the guiding principle of any action thriller. It should force the character to keep swinging from the moment they step into the arena. The value charge of action stories should be life or death. The harder you push your characters to the edge of death builds greater tension and drama. It forces them to innovate, surprise, and push back against the conflict in the story. You need to force them to Suit Up!

What it means to Suit Up! | Suit Up! Philosophy
Suit Up! With Terrance Layhew
Trouble doesn't care how you're dressed, but it cares if you are prepared. James Bond is popularly seen as a martini drinking Brit in a tuxedo, charming women and evading danger. It's an oversimplification and easy to mistake the accessories for the meaning. James Bond isn't cool because of the tuxedo, watches, gadgets or girls. It's because he has a robust skill set to meet any challenge and face the obstacles which any mission throws at him. If you want to be like Bond, you don't need to start investing in designer apparel, you need to invest in skills. This is what it means to Suit Up!...

The age of discovery never ends | Suit Up! Philosophy
Suit Up! With Terrance Layhew
The age of discovery never ends. It’s easy to forget that. Modern mapping and technology makes the world feel smaller than ever before. Yet, there’s still more to learn and discover each day. You may not be the first to walk into uncharted territory, but there are worlds to explore around you now. It’s a question of mindset. Approach life with a sense of adventure and you’ll find it. Curiosity for the world, place and people surrounding you is what you lack. Even when you exhaust what is readily at hand to learn, reading and traveling allows you to repeat the process again and again...

The martini mission | Suit Up! Philosophy
Suit Up! With Terrance Layhew
The martini and the mission. They can be seen as two sides of Bond’s world, or the intersection of them. From the outside, we see the division. James Bond socializing with his martini in hand, until he steps away to begin his mission. I would argue they are one and the same. The mission is the martini. The work of a spy is to gather information. Pay attention to the details and get into the rooms others cannot. What’s your martini? What’s your bridge between what people see and your mission?

Dare for your dreams | Suit Up! Philosophy
